Six men arrested following the slaying of filmmaker Theo van Gogh are no longer suspects in the killing, but still face charges for belonging to a terrorist group, authorities said Tuesday.
| I don't think the Dutchies want to continue playing catch and release. The fascination seems to have worn off, at least for awhile. |
The prime suspect in the Nov. 2 killing, 26-year-old Mohammed Bouyeri, remains in custody, officials said. But national prosecution spokesman Wim de Bruin said Amsterdam prosecutors have found no evidence linking six others to Van Gogh's killing. However, the men still face charges of belonging to a group of fundamentalists identified by Dutch intelligence as the "Hofstad" network, which is alleged to have links to the March 11 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people and the 2003 suicide bombings in Casablanca that killed 33. |
